Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Stadion Wankdorf will turn into a battlefield for BSC Young Boys and Manchester City FC.
  • 4' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Joel Monteiro.
  • 9' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 14' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 19' It looks surprising BSC Young Boys does not make any changes. Anthony Racioppi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 24' Manchester City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 29' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. BSC Young Boys needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 34' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 34 minutes.
  • 39' Bernardo Silva needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 44' Rodri has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 57 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 48' Goal! Manuel Akanji scores his 14 goal in 521 matches.
  • 52' Goal! Meschack Elia scores his 6 goal in 236 matches.
  • 57' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester City FC that had 436 games and scored 1020 goals.
  • 62' The travelling Manchester City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 64' Mohamed Aly Camara is having his name booked by the referee on 64.
  • 67' Sensational shot from Erling Haaland. Manchester City FC is back in the lead.
  • 72' The supporters are chanting for Bernardo Silva. He replaces Jeremy Doku on 72 minute.
  • 73' Time for substitution for BSC Young Boys. Cedric Itten is replaced by Jean-Pierre Nsame.
  • 74' GOAL! Julian Alvarez scores on 74.
  • 79' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 80' The whistle greets Lewin Blum as he departs to be replaced by Saidy Janko.
  • 85' Manchester City FC is showing some good football. However, Manchester City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 86' Goal! Erling Haaland scores his 250 goal in 83 matches.
  • 90' The supporters are chanting for Sergio Gomez. He replaces Erling Haaland on 90 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Manchester City FC players.
